Thx for the thoughts about the cream and glide! Gonna ask the gyno when I go for my appointment this week about the rx.

I am curious about the side effects... since it is a hormone, can it make you gain weight like the BC pill, or HRT?

Within the last couple years, I finally lost a lot of extra weight I carried for many of my "home years" post kids, about 40 pounds, and have kept it off within about a 3-5 pound flux. Finally, something for me, and I feel so much better in so many ways without the weight. I would never want to regain it back. But funny how a week family vacation of no gym and bike, and eating out a lot etc. can put this right on you, but then takes FOREVER it seems to get those few pounds back off.

Also, unfortunately from my pelvic prolapse repair surgeries and the docs cutting work, I have decreased sensitivity that my doc said was permanent . Some ladies have improvement from a Testosterone cream, which also is a steriod of some sort and the opposite of our estrogen cream for the bike issues--don't know what happens if you take both? See what the doc says. But I never took the testosteron cream before because of being a steriod. When I took steriods some years ago for something else, it made my hair fall out my the handfulls--like male pattern baldness, and I gained weight regardless of what I did. Also the doc said it only helps 25% of the cases and he had one lady grow sideburns with it . So, I decided I needed to think about it, since I don't think sideburns would be too sexy of a look for me, geez.

Sure the doc will give me the scoop when I go, but just wondering what other experiences ladies may have had first hand with creams? Thx
